https://farcaster.xyz/jacek/0xb17b7df3 This post sparked a lot of discussion among builders, so I wanted to share my own view too. Less than a year ago, I started NexArt largely because of the push Base and its team gave to builders. For that, I’m genuinely grateful. That early energy mattered. I don’t have the arrogance to claim I’ve built something bigger or better than others. I haven’t. What I’ve built is a niche platform, with some real firsts, across both web2 and web3. And NexArt was never about chasing millions of transactions. I agree with many builders commenting that the Base app timeline now feels heavily centered around creator coins. That doesn’t fully sit right with me either. Seeing pseudo-influencer Base posting framed as a major win is fine, but it feels less like a builder-driven environment than it used to. I’ve seen Jacek talk about Solana being supportive. I still believe Base and Farcaster have done a lot more for Degen. But I also see builders stepping back from Base posting because it no longer aligns with their project vision. For NexArt specifically, whether it lives on Base or somewhere else doesn’t really matter. It’s probably too niche to ever get massive spotlight anyway. So NexArt is no longer about a blockchain. It’s about a language, a protocol, and broad usage. Crypto or not.
